first, this is not a thread for moralizing scolds: everybody has their vices; this one's legal so teetotalers and scolds can suck it.
so, distillation nation and children of the grape, what's your adult beverage of choice? Beer, wine, hard spirits... fermented cactus peyote in the sweat lodge? I'm a party of one right now, prefer wine more than anything these days. having a cabernet with dinner. yeah, I know reds don't go with chicken, but there's not a white I can think of that I wouldn't choose any table red over. eta on my phone, format suffered accordingly |

I don't drink beer ever. I will enjoy a port or sherry after dinner if I'm in the mood. I have been known to sip on homemade moonshine while im smoking cigars. |
|
If I'm drinking, it's beer while I cook then I switch to wine while I eat.
Ernest Hemingway wrote: “Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.” |

Vodka and something or another (red bull, pepsi, lemonade,???)
Margaritas Beers that people love to hate, like corona and light beer. Great, you think it's gross... take your bitter assed hipster IPA and stick it where the sun don't shine. |

Whiskey.
I was drinking too much - messed up my stomach. I've cut back a bit now, but I still like a good Bourbon mixed with a little fresh air from time to time. |
|
You never had a really good white like a Montrache. Real nice chardonnay from Burgundy.
A good white cost more to get into than a decent red. |
|
Gin or Scotch when it comes to liquor. I like SoCo as well. Beer, so many good choices. I like pretty much everything except IPA's. If I had to pick a favorite beer it be a true Oktoberfest, Paulaner and Hofbrauhaus make a damn good Oktoberfest.

I brew beer and ferment my own wine so you know I like those.
For hard spirits I also drink vodka, gin, whiskey/bourbon, rum, and tequila. I also enjoy aperitifs. Actually, I pretty much like everything but Scotch. It's not for lack of trying, I've tried for years to acquire a taste for scotch (and it has cost me a pretty penny) I just can't seem to acquire the taste. |

I love the barley, but not the grape. Beer and whisky for me, wine is just spoiled grape juice. I'll drink it to be polite, never buy it for myself. Also appreciate other distillates, gin for example. Don't care for absinthe or ouzo type liquors. I do not drink tequila, it makes me evil. |

IPA, its what's for dinner.
I can still enjoy some lagers. But for the most part, I drink IPAs. I think I am making up for the years when they were cutting down on the hops in macro brews. |

Either Tito's or SKyy, over ice add a lime squeeze, and a dash of club soda.

In college it was cheap beer and whiskey.
Ten years ago is was decent whiskey and micro-brew beer Now it is good Rum (big fan of English Harbor 10 year) and good beer (Lazy Magnolia, Calf Killer, etc) |

I like a good tripple hopped IPA, or a very dark roasted creamy porter. Usually the IPA in warmer weather.
When I get too fat from the beer, I change to Sailor Jerry and Coke Zero or Vodka and Diet Red Bull. For daily drinking, usually a nice Malbec. When I'm feeling classy, an ANSI standard Martini. Out in the field, a snort of Wild Turkey or Woodford Reserve. |

I like it all. There's a Chilean red blend I've been drinking a lot of lately (2012 Montes Twins) that is incredible. I've been really into small batch sour beers lately. A local place called Ethereal has a Finnish sour style beer aged in wine cask that I can't get enough of. And I love Scotch with an interesting 18 year glenburgie (independent bottling) or my 21 year glenlivet Archive being my daily drinkers right now.

Cheap beer and expensive vodka
Or cheap vodka and expensive beer Sometimes taquira Might be rum..... But I get the best results from good vodka. Sometimes privately distilled rural untaxed jarred spirits. |
|
Stouts in the winter, IPAs in the summer. Good red wine year round from my AO (Sonoma + Napa valley)
|

Pabst and eagle rare for effect. I do like quality beers and bourbons, but they get pricey.

Watery domestic beers (Coors light, Miller light)
Dark rum (Capt., Sailor Jerry) Vodka and Redbull 7up and Seagrams 7 if caffeine limit has been reached Gin martini Moscow mules (vodka and ginger beer) Occasional shot of Fireball or quality tequila Cheap $5 a bottle Chilean red wine with dinner |

I really only drink wine and dark beers.
Mostly wine though. I like a good Malbec and a Pinot Noir. Don't really care for whiskey, bourbon, or scotch. |

Drank Coors's beer, exclusively . . . for damned near thirty years . . .
until CO did their retarded AWB thing . . . . . . at which point I sold my time-share in CO . . . . . . bought another one in NM . . . and switched to Shiner Boch . . . . . . made in Texas . . . as it should be. Also a Tennessee Squire . . . Plot #XX39Y |

I like wheat beers but I'm trying to cut back on carbs so it's been Bourbon for a while. Mixing it up lately with some vodka for variety's sake. I also enjoy rum.
Never had wine, should probably remedy that one of these days. |

Beer during the week, harder stuff fucks me up quick, always seems to creep up on me. What kinda what you interested in. Love me some sailor jerry, but can rarely hold it to 1 glass. Sapling (http://saplingliqueur.com/?age-verified=55b1acff8e) with a couple of cubes of ice in a scotch glass always worked well for me as well. Highly recommended if you haven't had it.

Whisky, when snobbin' it; single malt, highland, old enough to vote. Whiskey (Bourbon) for everyday. Beer chaser depending on the venue and the mood.
